I completed my Bachelor of Physiotherapy with Honours at The University of Queensland in 2022. Since graduating, I have gained experience working across both public and private hospital settings, as well as working as a FIFO physiotherapist, which has helped me develop a well-rounded and adaptable approach to managing a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through the gym, surfing, and running, and I am currently training for a HYROX event. In my downtime, I enjoy relaxing with a cup of tea, a good book, or a classic 2000s rom-com movie. I have a particular interest in treating upper limb injuries, especially the shoulder, as well as neck and back pain. I enjoy working with clients to help them return to the activities they enjoy, using a combination of hands-on treatment and exercise-based rehabilitation.

Tahlia is the Director of Perth Physiotherapy and Pilates and has been a physiotherapist for over 13 years. She graduated from Curtin University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy) and commenced work initially as a rotating physiotherapist in the hospital setting before realizing her true passion was in private practice. After leaving her full-time clinical role and deciding to open her own practice in 2016, Tahlia started Perth Physio & Pilates in a room attached to a gym, before moving to the clinic’s current location in 2018. Tahlia became a business owner to be able to provide patients with the best possible care, and provide her staff with an enjoyable and supportive work environment. Growing up playing state level basketball Tahlia was constantly in and out of the physio. This is initially what sparked her interest in the career. Having worked in the industry for many years, she has developed a special interest in treating sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain and dysfunction, spinal pain and cervical (neck) pain and headaches. Within her consultations, Tahlia looks beyond just the symptoms her patients present with to identify the root cause of the problem, aiming to fully resolve the cause to prevent the pain or issue from recurring. Tahlia utilizes manual therapy, dry needling, neuromeningeal manipulation, clinical pilates / ‘Physiolates’ and exercise rehabilitation to treat her patients. She is continually completing professional development to learn and extend her knowledge as both a physiotherapist and business owner to ensure she is providing her patients with the most effective treatments. Outside of work, Tahlia enjoys spending time with her family and keeping up with her two young children. She likes hiking, basketball, camping and heads to the snow whenever she gets the chance to carve it up on the snowboard.
